<H3><A NAME="7_1_7">7.1.7 Using the step-style to render line plots</A></H3>
<P> Step style refers to an alternate way of rendering line plots by not
 drawing a direct line between two adjacent points but rather draw two
 segments. The first segment being a horizontal line to the next X-value
 and then a vertical line from that point to the correct Y-value. This
 is perhaps easier demonstrated by an example as seen below.</P>
<P> You specify that you want the plot to be rendered with this style by
 calling the method <A href="../ref/LinePlot.html#_LINEPLOT_SETSTEPSTYLE">
SetStepStyle()</A> on the lineplot.<DIV class="example">
